That's a big change, only recently changed too OH keeps one of these on an old phone, and it was handy buying the vouchers when membership ran out.

Can you change to this from another membership, ie a Guido, without getting a new SIM?

Yeah, but you can't change back to an old plan.

You can still load up with any amount of credit and then convert the credit to memberships whenever.

Vouchers are not available. You can only top up via the website.

Was with 48 a couple of years ago and you could buy top ups in the shops (even though usually you'd have to prompt the sales assistant to keep looking through the menu options on the till to find it). Has that changed?

Had my mother on the Guido for years. Had a problem with reception last week so I disabled auto renew as her phone was down for 4 days. Managed to sort out the issue with her phone but forgot to enable auto renew. Sub ran out and no option to purchase Guido so bought the 20gb package just to get her up and running. Was on to 48 chat today and explained the situation but she cannot change back to Guido. Data no use to her as she just has a basic phone and wouldn't have a clue on how to use the internet. I was initially told on chat that she could exchange data for extra minutes but the agent then backtracked on that. Guess she will be porting in a months time.

New plan: 300 minutes, all text, 20GB
Guido: 300 mobile mins, 60 landline mins, all text, 3GB

So the new plan has 60 minutes less but the 300 minutes can be used for mobile and landline calls so it's more flexible.

They definitely had the option to swap data for minutes on the new plans but deleted it from the terms within a day or two. It would have been real competition to Three's own 15e plan so Three must have told them to remove it.

Eir packagee for unlimited calls is ok for him. He doesn't use data.

Any problems with 48.ie getting security codes from banks,gmail,Amazon ,Revolut etc?

No, they come in from normal mobile numbers anyway.


Well any I ever got did anyway.

Mr.S

Switched from GoMo and getting double the speed with data. Very happy given the price.

Obviously it’s not unlimited but 20GB is enough for me!

That’s completely irrelevant as it’s run as a seperate buisness

Is it though? All the business addresses are Three’s.

Am I missing something, or have they 'hidden' the minutes available on each plan? This information is not available on the membership page, is it?

Three issues 083 numbers. I think I heard that business customers get 086 numbers but not sure on that.

48 issues 089 numbers.

The thread title should be edited to remove 'Three' as it's just needlessly confusing.

Just updated from the Guido my new membership will start from my next renewal date ,easy enough

Is it not 089?

According to Quackster above it's 089. I would have thought that with them being an ex-o2 brand that they were issuing 086 prefixes.

I wouldn't be all that keen on having an 089 prefix and based on a thread here recently, I'm not alone!

Esel

That's interesting. I had thought 089 was TescoMobile only.

48 has used 089 from launch, when they were part of O2. Lyca also uses 089 prefix.

Heraldoffreeent

089 was for O2 MVNO's, carried on by Three when they took over, for Virgin and CPW.

I wish they would but I'd say there's little chance of them doing that unless everybody starts leaving them for their competitors.
They don't seem to be up for this "competition" lark :rolleyes:.

Can anyone confirm if banking or other 2FA SMS from short code numbers work (5xxxx numbers are blocked by 48)?

I'd also like to know the answer to this if anybody can help.
